Mandrolisai symbolizes a land and its wine in one name. The estate
was named after one of the innermost regions of Sardinia, whose geographical
and climatic features (scarce rainfalls and long summers) come together to
produce very unique wines. The vineyards are situated at the foot of the highest
mountain ranges on the island. The village records show that there are three times as
many people over one hundred years old living in Sorgono, Sardinia than anywhere else in western Europe. A group of researchers from the Queen Mary
University of London give some credit to the Polyphenol content of the area's red. The famous red
called Kent'annos (hundred
years) is therefore referred to as "the fountain of youth" wine. Mandrolisaiproduces more
than half the wine made for
the Wine Growers Cooperative of Mandrolisai, established
in 1950, sited in Sorgono. The MandrolisaiRossoSuperiore is a blend of Cannonau, Muristeddu (BovaleSardo) and Monica
grapes, and the wine is of ruby red color with garnet inflections. It greets
you with an intense aroma that is round and fruity, and compliments with a
palate that is dry, warm, full, tannic, balanced and well structured. Best
paired with appetizers, pasta dishes, game, red meats, sausages, or a mature
Pecorino. Recommended to
decant for one hour
before enjoying.
